Melinda’s Craft Pepper Sauces brings the spice! In their own words:
WE HAVE THE HOTS FOR FRESH INGREDIENTS.
We love real ingredients so much, we make thick, flavorful hot sauces from them.
FLAVOR COMES FIRST.
Any sauce can be hot, but to be hot AND flavorful? That’s our sweet spot. We use fresh peppers and vegetables to craft perfectly balanced sauces that set your mouth on flavor, not fire.
